Servings

Makes 4 burritos (can be sliced in half for 8 halves)

Time Breakdown

  • Prep Time: 15 minutes
  • Cook Time: 10 minutes (if cooking chicken fresh)
  • Total Time: 25 minutes

Ingredients

  • 2 large chicken breasts, cooked and chopped (grilled or pan-seared)
  • 2 ripe avocados, mashed
  • 1/2 cup ranch dressing (homemade or store-bought)
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1/2 cup chopped tomatoes
  • 1/4 cup diced red onion
  • 1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro
  • 1/2 tsp garlic powder
  • 1/2 tsp paprika
  • Salt & pepper to taste
  • 4 large flour tortillas

Instructions

  1. Cook the Chicken: If you’re starting with raw chicken, season it with garlic powder, paprika, salt, and pepper. Grill or pan-sear until cooked through, then chop into bite-sized pieces.
  2. Make the Filling: In a bowl, mix chopped chicken, mashed avocado, ranch dressing, cheddar cheese, tomatoes, onion, and cilantro.
  3. Assemble the Burritos: Warm tortillas slightly to make them pliable. Divide the filling evenly between them and roll tightly.
  4. Grill (Optional but recommended!): Place each burrito seam-side down on a hot skillet for 1–2 minutes per side until golden and slightly crispy.
  5. Serve & Devour: Slice in half and serve warm. Add a side of salsa, sour cream, or extra ranch if you’re feelin’ fancy!
